Fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin’
Fly, fly away, just don’t give me no warnin’.

Go on girl fly away
If that’s what you want to do
‘Cause whatever’s left to say girl
It won’t come from me and you.

So fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin’
Fly, fly away, just don’t give me no warnin’.

I guess everything’s been done
But if there’s nothing here for you
If you want to chase the sun girl
Well that’s just what you ought to do.

And fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin’
Fly, fly away, just don’t give me no warnin’.
Fly, fly away, fly away in the mornin’…
